10 Weeks Pregnant

This week I had some improvement with the nausea and I seem to be a little more hungry.  On Friday we had our first appointment at the Women's Center.  After several attempts we heard the baby's heartbeat for a split second, but then couldn't find it again.  We are all certain that we heard it though and that's what counts.  I had blood work done, a finger prick, and two urine samples.  We are set to return in two weeks on Oct. 4th for our 12 week ultrasound.  I am looking forward to being able to see the baby again! We were pleased with the physician's assistant that we saw on Friday and look forward to seeing her again.

Yesterday was the LAST day of the dreaded progesterone shots!  Woohoo!  I will be nervous for a while after stopping them, but the doctors obviously know what is best.  I am thrilled to eliminate 15 minutes from my morning routine that went like this: heating pad to the hip, draw up the injection, switch needle tips, heat a wash cloth and wrap the needle in it, wipe the area with alcohol, do the injection and then massage the area with a heating pad.  Ugh.  Literally a pain in my ass for the last 58 days!!!  Hopefully all of the oil lumps that have accumulated, bruises and soreness will go away soon!
